Eliminating tax cap law among 70-plus amendments to Senate’s $586M tax relief plan

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:32:27 GMT

A Marlborough Democrat wants to repeal the state tax cap law that sent billions in reimbursement checks to residents last year, filing the idea as one of the 70-plus amendments to the Senate’s tax relief proposal scheduled for debate later this week.Sen. Jamie Eldridge said he wants to scrap the voter-passed tax cap law known as Chapter 62F because it creates a layer of unpredictability with state spending. The law required state officials to send nearly $3 billion back to taxpayers in 2022, which threw last year’s tax relief talks out the window.“I don’t think it really serves sound public policy,” Eldridge told the Herald. “I didn’t hear from anyone about ‘this made a big difference in my life to get this tax rebate’. So I do think that it’s important to have this discussion to repeal it and make sure that we’re not worried about it being triggered in the future.”Eldridge filed the repeal amendment to Senate Democrats’ $586 million tax relief plan the...

Quick Fix: Seared Tuna with Gazpacho Sauce features perfect flavor match

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:32:27 GMT

Linda Gassenheimer | Tribune News Service (TNS)I was surprised by a light and refreshing sauce served at a local restaurant. They used gazpacho, a fresh tomato mixture usually served as a cold soup. I decided to use this style of sauce over a seared tuna steak. The flavorful sauce and tender tuna were a perfect match. A slice of garlicky toast with the dish was perfect for sopping up extra sauce.Ahi tuna is best for this recipe. It is also known as yellowfin. Although any tuna can be used for the recipe, ask for sushi-grade ahi for best results, if available.Helpful Hints:— You can use any type of rice.— If you don’t have a blender or food processor, just mix the sauce ingredients well together. The sauce will be chunky but still delicious.Countdown:— Microwave rice and set aside.— Make sauce.— Toast bread.— Sear tuna.Shopping List:To buy: 3/4 pound tuna steaks, 1 package microwaveable brown rice, 1 small bottle reduced-sodium tomato juice, 1 cucumber, whole wheat baguette and olive...

Ontario to have $22.6B in ‘excess funds’ to be used on programs or debt, FAO says

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:32:27 GMT

TORONTO — Ontario’s budget watchdog says a look at the province’s spending plan shows there will be $22.6 billion in “excess funds” over the next few years.The Financial Accountability Office says through to 2025-26 the government’s spending plan is $5.6 billion higher each year on average than the FAO’s projections.The $22.6 billion represents money that isn’t needed to fund existing or announced programs, so it could go toward new programs, enhancing existing programs, offset any new financial pressures that materialize or pay down the province’s net debt.If the government goes entirely for the latter option, the FAO says Ontario’s debt burden would decline for an “unprecedented” seven consecutive years and result in a net debt-to-GDP ratio of 31.8 per cent by 2027-28, the lowest since 2008-09.The FAO estimates that the health sector represents about $4.4 billion in excess funds, but most of the rest are likely cont...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested Tuesday that he could order his troops to try to seize more land in Ukraine to protect bordering Russian territory and asserted that Ukrainian forces had suffered “catastrophic” losses in a new counteroffensive.In some of his most detailed remarks about the war in months, the Russian leader also said he was not contemplating a new troop mobilization, as many Russians have feared, but did not rule it out. And he reiterated Russia’s claim that Ukraine was responsible for blowing up a Dnieper River dam that caused vast flooding on both sides of the front line last week in the country’s south.Putin’s comments at an open meeting with military journalists and bloggers followed Kyiv’s claims that Ukrainian troops had captured a handful of villages in the early stages of the counteroffensive. The meeting, which lasted more than two hours, came after Russian missile strikes in central Ukraine killed at least 11...
